Applications of phase transfer technique to the study and development of natural rubber
The phase transfer technique was used for surface characterization of natural rubber latex and for preparation of toughened polystyrene based on gamma-radiation vulcanized natural rubber. This process was extended to embed deproteinized natural rubber latex particles, crosslinked by gamma-ray, in polystyrene for morphologically study.
